Reduced VAT Rate Application for Energy Performance Contracts: Component-Based Approach

  • The reduced rate can be applied depending on each component.
  • An energy performance contract is an agreement between the beneficiary and the provider of an energy efficiency improvement measure.
  • Payments are based on the level of energy efficiency improvement or other agreed performance criteria.
  • This contract includes energy efficiency interventions and management of thermal energy supply systems.
  • The contract ensures economic savings cover initial energy efficiency interventions.
  • Invoicing for initial energy efficiency work is done periodically over the contract duration.
  • The periodic fee includes fixed and variable components for maintenance and energy supply services.
  • Each component of the periodic fee should be separately invoiced.
  • The applicable VAT rate for each component is based on the specific service provided.
  • For energy efficiency work on building envelopes, a 10 percent VAT rate may apply if classified as restoration or renovation.
